The Pastor’s Pen

Coming up / Classifieds

Welcome to Windsor Park Baptist Church.

Kia Ora Koutou I’m excited about 2018 and our Believe series; excited because of the flow from foundations to application, that we’ll learn things (or learn them again) but that learning has a direction – and that direction will show us how amazing God is, and that will help us grow in our love for Him … and this flows right through to how we live our lives as we become more like Jesus for the sake of others. I’m also excited because we’re sharing this journey with 6 other Baptist churches throughout Auckland. These are all very good things! Our AGM is coming up on Sunday 25th March – and we’ll be devoting part of our services to this important aspect of our life together. Part of our AGM is electing and affirming those who serve on the governance teams of Windsor Park Baptist Church, the Equip Trust, and Windsor Park Hub Limited. Our leading governance team are our Elders, and with a rotational stand-down policy we have a vacancy on our Elders team this year. If you, or someone you know would like to talk about what it means to be an Elder at Windsor Park, please contact the current chair of our Elders, Paul Collins, on [email protected].

Our vision statement is based on Romans 12:2: ‘Transforming communities one life at a time.’ If you have any questions, or need directions around our buildings, please chat to people wearing yellow lanyards or go to the Information Desk in the foyer. If you’d like someone to pray for you, please feel free to approach someone wearing a red lanyard or come to the front of the auditorium at the conclusion of services. Whether its information or prayer, we’re here to help you.
